April: National Poetry Month!

To kick off National Poetry Month, here's a little Ogden Nash:

Tell me, O Octopus, I begs,
Is those things arms, or is they legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus;
If I were thou, I'd call me Us.

Pretty, pretty eggs.

I saw you toss the kites on high

And blow the birds about the sky;

And all around I heard you pass,

Like ladies' skirts across the grass--

O wind, a-blowing all day long,

O wind, that sings so loud a song!

-Robert Louis Stevenson

And then she innovated makeup.
